Sefer Kol Yaakov on Chamesh Megillot by the Maggid of Dubno – Warsaw, 1819 – first edition – signatures and glosses by the Geonim Rabbi Wolf Leib Pixel Av Beis Din of Mezator and Rabbi Yisroel Isser Toiber, disciples of Maran the Chasam Sofer – lengthy glosses

On the title page (in the stamp of Yeshivas Bnei David of the Paks community) a blurred signature of Rabbi Yisroel Isserel Toiber. On verso of the title page, a signature of Rabbi Wolf Leib Pixel. On the leaves of the book there are glosses by these two Geonim, some of them lengthy. 

These two Geonim lived for some time in Ir Chadash, serving as Magidei meisharim. For their sermons, they used the book of the Maggid of Dubno, adding their own glosses and commentary on it. 

The Tzaddik Gaon Rabbi Biyomin Wolf Leib Pixel (1792-1868) was a leading disciple of the Chasam Sofer and of the Baruch Ta’am. Until 1833 served as Dayan of Ir Chadash and since 1833 as Av Beis Din of Abony. However, he resigned shortly thereafter due to persecution of the members of the Enlightenment Movement. In 1835 he was appointed Av Beis Din of Mezator. In ca. 1838, he returned to Ir Chadash to serve as Moreh Tzeddek and Maggid Meisharim until his passing in 1868. 

The Tzaddik Gaon Rabbi Yisroel Isser Tiober (1823-1904) studied Torah under the Chasam Sofer in his last years. Since 1852, served a Dayan and maggid Meisharim of Ir Chadash. Authored the book Ezrach Ranan (Pressburg, 1862) on the Rambam.
